THANK YOU! I have been waiting for someone to do a “silver video” without painting over every piece. Everything you did was beautiful! Thank You, Theresa!! 💕👍🏻🦋🌸

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Yay! I really enjoyed making this video and there’s so many ideas out there and I love them all. Thank you ❤️

[@franceswitham8214]

Thank you for all the beautiful silver ideas. It hurts when I see it casually painted white on everyone else's videos.

[@soukaynahndiaye3685]

ME TOO!! I AGREE!! LEAVE IT VINTAGE!!😳

[@caroltiller5116]

After you told what those unusual forks were I can see that you can cut the pie or cake and then use it to eat off of. Very interesting.

[@margaretdillinger5090]

I absolutely love that embossed bowl for $1. I would have grabbed for sure. I love silver plated items and salt shakers. Love crystal too. Loving your ideas. I took some of the oval n round trays and did beautiful Christmas scenes for our church bazaar. I seriously think we Southern ladies really appreciate the silver and crystal items. I did arrangements for my church in old silver bowls but I didn’t leave them there. Lol

[@sharronchurch6740]

I use my Coffee pot as my toothbrush and toothpaste caddy, on top of a beautiful silver tray, worth cotton balls and q-tips in the silver sugar and creamer cups.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Great idea!! I bet that looks so pretty ❤️

[@evelynmatheson2117]

Absolutely a wonderful video with so many ideas that my head is spinning!😁. You put in a lot of time gathering these ideas for us from various sources so we don't have to look anywhere else!!!!!! Thank you for all the inspiration! 💐❤

[@cjenkins8785]

The teapot tissue holder brought a smile and giggle to my vanity table. Thank you.

[@maggienbob1304]

Ooh! Yes, I forgot about that one! Loved that idea too.

[@lynn4834]

I had no idea that I would like this video as much as I did; its all very pretty; love how you style everything. The silverware makes cool wind chimes as well 😮

[@OurGreeneAcres]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching ❤️

[@drschafer95]

I received so many pieces of silver for my 1st marriage in the 70's. You have given me so many ideas. Thank you.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Awe, that’s great! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@Cynthia2v]

I loved collecting old silverware, much easier to find about 20 years ago. The sugar spoon was actually called a sugar shell, because of the shape of the bowl. You always share such good ideas, thank you!

[@donnabrasher3303]

The baby shoes would make great decor for a baby shower, could be place card holders or displayed with a multi-generational photo.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Great idea! Thank you!

[@susan6942]

Such cute ideas love them all

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@soukaynahndiaye3685]

I LOVE ALL THAT YOU DO!! YOU ALWAYS LEAVE MY "COUNTRY ASS" SPEECHLESS!!🤣🤣

[@janellington7593]

I love the bird cage! They are so hard to come by.

[@lindasoderberg9477]

I love videos showing how to make vignettes. My favorite application was the picture glued on the bread tray!

[@donnayeager2703]

I have a collection of old silver pieces and pitchers and usually use them for Christmas decor. You have given me several ideas for year-round use... I would make a Christmas wreath for my dining room using silver flat wear, the small Christening baby cups, small cream pitchers, sugar bowls. The silver is so pretty mixed with greenery and tiny lights. Edit. I just heard about your booth! I live in Athens. I will be going to Rogersville tomorrow to see your booth!!! I am so excited!!!

[@donnajohnson1531]

Since I gravitate to old silver, I love your aesthetic! Captured several of your ideas, including how to hang. Thanks for much for sharing.

[@donnapecoraro3126]

beautiful vignettes! i think i’ll make a pincushion and use some pearl pins with small costume jewelry pieces to make faux hat pins.

[@lynnsalberg5647]

I think classical music would be wonderful to accompany your lovely channel!

[@rebeccabirdsong5765]

I have so many silver plate pieces, thank you for putting a fire under my bum to start using them in my decor, instead of a box in the garage.

[@marge-bg4zn]

I had found some beautiful lids once and put them on my wall, opposite my front door. Every time I came in it looked like hubcaps. I ended up taking them down but maybe I could have styled them more. 😅

[@donnapecoraro3126]

idea: if you’re applying a printed photo to a tarnished tray you can edit the picture to a warm sepia tone. i love the solawood flowers, they’re so shabby vintage looking and last forever.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you for the tip! I will have to try that.

[@cd2street]

Oh My Goodness!! This is awesome!! I have all these type of things at home and I have never thought of arranging them like this. I just love your ideas!! I am on holidays at the moment but once I get home I will be straight into doing this! Thank you for the inspiration. You are a woman after my own heart! Best regards Chris (Australia)

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Awe, thank you and so glad you got some ideas for your home❤️

[@marilynwright7274]

So many great ideas and beautiful items. I am so pleased you were mindful of not damaging the items. Thanks again💗

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you! Their natural beauty makes them stunning ❤️

[@traceyrose6099]

❤❤ these thanks bunches

[@karenhill3970]

Oh my gosh no joke I bout fell out too!! Beautiful bowl footed $1.... Sure that's NOT sterling!??? I saw a stamp on bottom......😗 love the ' silver " frame for 1920's girl w flowers

[@chrissiestaples6124]

Some good ideas here, thanks, but I love to shine my silver so it gleams, showing my age I guess, one of my childhood chores was to clean the silver, so to me tarnished silver just looks dirty. Loving your jewellery tray, they make lovely embellishments.

[@chrisogrady4956]

Thank you for the many, wonderful ideas!

[@cynthiabolding8237]

I HAD to make some of the silver plated trays & other items so I went thrifting. I bought several lovely pieces but I also found a large oval tray with an acanthus design. I paid $8 & it’s actually a Wilson Armetale pewter tray! I looked at a set of china tea cups w/saucers only bc I loved the colors. For $11, I bought 3 sets w/2 extra saucers marked OCCUPIED JAPAN! I was thrilled and it’s all thanks to you! 💕

[@deborahlee6240]

What wonderful ideas. I have so many pieces from my grandmother. I have a good start on what I can do.

[@cathiespalding2083]

So many wonderful ideas …. I want to go shopping for silver pieces!!!

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Me too, it definitely makes you give them a second thought now! I never knew some of these ideas myself. Thanks for watching.

[@karenhill3970]

Loved the tiered trays!!!& Easle stacking... $2,99 ...😯 SOOO beautiful

[@lynnsalberg5647]

You have such a way with making things pretty! I have so much silver I bought at thrift stores in the closet ! Can’t wait to try these great ideas out !

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you so much!

[@katherynjenifer2711]

I love picking up silver pieces too. Great video with wonderful ideas!

[@jody2873]

GREAT IDEAS WITH THOSE OLD PIECES! I am drawn to silver plated stuff all the time, but have confusion as how to repurpose it- very very pretty! Thank You!

[@teresahatfield4521]

Teresa. You are so creative! Really love your ideas for all the thrift items you find. So wonderful!!

[@karenhill3970]

CUTE !! Ides for silver PC's...or can use casserole w handles & feet for original purpose I think for beautiful presentation of casserole dish on buffet or table to serve.......I think fits standard pyrex glass casserole....I think mine was my Mom's ..when she was with Daddy 😔all the lovely PC's she got as wedding gifts.💚

[@ruthfitzwater-cn3vc]

So many beautiful vignettes! The $1 bowl is amazing! I love how you took the 9” x 13” casserole piece and flipped the top to make a display surface. Also your idea to put books in it-genius. Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas Teresa.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@michellepereira2328]

I liked your ideas for using silver. My favorites were the pitcher tissue holder and the spice rack.

[@lz898]

Great styling! Great price!

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you! 😊

[@maggienbob1304]

Thank you for this! I love vintage silver pieces & I have a few water pitchers & tea pots that I use as vases. Beautiful w my Mom's English roses! I'm thinking w a smaller tray I might photo copy my parents old wedding photo & place that inside the tray! And I'm definitely doing a pin cushion! Maybe I can make hat pins! Again, thank you so much for all the wonderful ideas. ❤

[@Katrn30]

You have the BEST ideas!

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Wow, thank you!

[@karenhill3970]

[@melaniemorris7757]

[@angelinekilborne34]

Lovely ideas.

[@junemccartan8066]

Teresa why do you not clean your silver some will come up beautiful I love it when it sparkles but I appreciate your videos of how we can use our pieces in different ways and places thank you for sharing love from Ireland

[@valarieklein2766]

I’ve always had a lot of silver plate pieces. I would always polish them so they didn’t look tarnished.

[@Donna91556]

Hi Teresa, I really enjoyed this video. So different but educational. If those roses you had staged are in your store, I will get them. Thanks for the beautiful candle holder I bought from your store at Stephen's. It is beautiful. Donna xoxo

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you, Donna! That candle ring is beautiful. Those roses are in my Amazon store.

[@marsha8406]

[@loriannperry5302]

I want that bowl omg I must have it please 😅seriously thank you

[@OurGreeneAcres]

One of the bowls in this video is in my booth for sale. Contact Stephen, his info is in my description. Thank you!

[@carlamhaight]

Hi, Teresa. Thank you so much for sharing all those great styling ideas with the vintage silver and silver plate. I have one of those rectangular chafing dishes - last year, my husband put some wood pieces in the bottom of it so that it will be a holder for books. I love buying those old silver pieces too. I hadn't thought about putting tissues in vessels and I'll probably do that as well. Hope you have a great Memorial Day. Take care

[@lorrainekempton2151]

I love all your ideas! And your booth looks lovely

[@estherrivera6816]

Thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas. I plan to do some, so excited.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Have fun! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@maryalicehuffstetler3026]

You have great ideas on decorating silver. You have some beautiful pieces!!

[@franquinn5192]

Those silver plated trays in Goodwill where I live cost between $15 @ $30. Our Goodwillis so overpriced.

[@maggienbob1304]

Sounds like goodwill here in S.Calif. Silver plate water pitchers $20-$30. Even broken or rusty ones. Platters $15+. They even have the gall to charge $7/8 for the silver (plastic?) platters that come from the $1dollar store. 😂 They don't sell sets together 😟. They sell each sugar creamer separately for about $10!. They had a silver plate spatula for $8. I said, "What?!!" out loud.. but bought it anyway cuz I loved the shape. Lol. It's crazy.

[@marshall36]

Love!! You are so creative!!

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thank you! 😊

[@ondinadixon1875]

[@chattykathie7129]

I used this silver look in my shop when I did shabby chic home decor, which I think was my favorite style. ❤

[@OurGreeneAcres]

It sounds like it was beautiful. It’s one of my favorites too!

[@jayneparrott7680]

Like the idea for the mirror ❤

[@davidshep45]

I am not a fan of all white chippy farm house (fugly farmhouse but love vintage silver. Many of these ideas could be reinterpreted in English and French country interiors for a more paired down less cluttered look.

[@lavettamoff7883]

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thanks so much for watching. Hope you have a wonderful week. 💚💚💚💚

[@donnadozier4294]

Such great ideas! I found a rectangle base and lid recently at our Goodwill. I knew I wanted it but not sure what to do. Thank you! I have so many ideas now. ❤

[@OurGreeneAcres]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video and got some ideas❤️

[@peggyawald2749]

i love the shabby bows , can you show me how to make one

I love everything you do!! 😊

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Thanks 💚💚💚💚

[@differentperspective4124]

Great idea on Kleenex in the little coffee pot, I have a pewter pot that will work well for this.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Sounds great! Thank you ❤️

[@lisajackson4784]

Such a great idea for content! I DO wish you would do a video on making that wreath from the round trays?!!! I tried but couldn’t get it to stay together. I guess wrong products bc it’s heavy.

[@OurGreeneAcres]

Great idea!! I’m sure they probably had to use a board round made of wood to hold that much weight and probably drilled holes through the silver pieces and attached with screws. Thank you for watching!
